What to Expect

Our program features a core MBA curriculum that can be applied across industries as well as a healthcare management concentration that accounts for approximately 40% of the program’s credits.

Taught in a cohort-based model of peers from across the country, our healthcare-focused curriculum builds on our long-standing relationships with four nationally recognized Cleveland-based healthcare institutions—Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, MetroHealth System, and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center—as well as healthcare expertise found across the �ǿմ�ý campus.

Through coursework and two in-person residencies, you’ll learn the operations and outcomes at a variety of types of healthcare organizations—from university-based academic medical providers to group practice-centered organizations to federal and essential hospital providers.
